KILLING MY LOBSTER: UNDER PRESSURE, at SF Sketchfest

Jan 18th & 25th at PianoFight, 144 Taylor St. San Francisco

KML is kicking off its 20th year by throwing caution and sense to the wind with Killing My Lobster: Under Pressure, creating a show in the same amount of time SNL takes to put together an episode! What can a bunch of comedians barely making rent in the Bay Area come up with in one week on no sleep and 12 gallons of iced coffee? Will they all get fired from their day jobs? Will they burst into tears in the middle of the show? FIND OUT.

SEX BATTLE

March 2nd - 18th at PianoFight, 144 Taylor St. San Francisco

It's KML's 20 Year Anniversary show, let's go back to 1997 and lift our glasses to the year Steve Jobs came back to Apple.
